GILLETTE GIVES RECITAL
Member of University Glee Club En
tertains Large Audience Tuesday
Evening in Villard Hall
By Edythe Rogers.
Albert Gillette sang Tuesday ev
ening in Villard Hall to a large and
appreciative audience. The program
chosen showed the seriousness of his
aim and altitude of his ambition. Ev
ery range of emotion was represent
ed, from the quiet beauty of the “Hour
of "Dreaming” and the solemnity of
the “Requiem," to the dramatic in
tensity of the “Fool’s Soliloquy,” and
the despair and passion of the great
aria from Rigoletto.
“Oh del Mio Dolce Ardor,” by
Gluck, was the first number of the
program. This is one of the old style
Italian arips afid jloes not'carry as
mgch interest as the more modem
numbers, but it was very well ren
dered. The first group, which includ
ed “In Autumn,” by Franz, was very
brilliant. The piece expressed the
sad and dreary part of life and was
sung with the very spirit of autumn,
The second group of songs were
German selections. “Der Lenz ist da,’
by Hildach, the last of the numbers,
was brilliant and dramatic, and
brought out the splendid qualities oi
Mr. Gillette’s voice. After a vocif
erous applause, he sang “Als die Alte
Mutter,” by Dvorak, a very dainty,
delicate song, which was a great con
trast to the brilliant number preced
ing.
The last group, which included the
“Fool’s Soliloquy,” had many good
qualities. The “Requiem,” a very sol
emn selection, was rendered in a
somewhat unusual manner by Mr. Gil
lette. It is usually sung fortissimo
but he interpreted it in a subdued tone
The “Fool’s Soliloquy” was excellent
in its dramatic rendition. It tells of
the inner life of a court jester, how
he would love to have people take
him not always as a fool, but as a
person with a life. The words of this
soliloquy are very impressive, the cli
max being in the phrase, “No greater
fool e’er blocked the king'is high
way.” In this Mr. Gillette had an op
portunity to show the range of his
voice and to express differently the
many moods the selection calls for,
He responded to this with his favor
ite, “Marguerite," by Meyer-Helmund.
But the climax of the evening was
reached in the Aria from Rigoletto.
This was full of dramatic power and
power and great range of emotion.
Mr. Gillette brought out in his sing
ing the stammering rage of Rigoletto
and the tearful and despairing en
treaty for his daughter.
Gillette sang with great ease and
his tone production was excellent. H j
had good control of his voice during
the whole evening. Miss Ruth Davis,
the accompanist, supported Mr. Gil
lette in the spirit of the songs and
contributed much to the success of
Hie evening.
DR. LATQURETTE WILL
8E VESPER SPEAKER
Missionary From China, Now Lectur
ing at Reed College, Will be on
Campus Next Week
“The Influence of Christianity or
the Formation of the New China” will
be the subject upon which Dr. Kenneth
Latourette, a missionary from Chang
sha, China, will speak at Vesper ser
vices in Villard Hall tomorrow after
noon.
Dr. Latourette has spent severa
years in Ching and has an extender
knowledge of Chinese customs anc
religious ideals. He is maintained ir
China by the Y. M. C. A. of Yale Uni
versity* of <yvhigh he is a graduate
He is now on a furlough and for th<
past two years has be°en on the facul
ty of Reed College.
The musical program will consisl
of solos by Mrs. Ambrose Middleton
of the Department of Music, and Roj
W. Stanton, of the University Men’s
Glee Club.
Dr. Latourette will also hold a spe
dal meeting for men Tuesday even
ing at 7:15 o’clock in the Civil En
gineering Building. His subject foi
this address will be “The Americar
College Man’s Part in China.”
The University of Michigan givei

for work on'the college publications
PAGES MAY BE EMPLOYED
IN UNIVERSITY LIBRARY
“A suggestion has been made tha
the library be divided into two parts
and that the men study in one part
and the women in the other. Such s
plan would be hardly feasible, how
ever, owing to the inconvenience anc
loss of time it would occasion,” sait
M. H. Douglass, University Librari
an. “I would be impractical for i
man wanting a book from the women’1
section to have to carry it to the othei
side of the house to refer to it, and ti.
return it when through.”
If appropriations for the purpose
can be secured, pages will be employee
in the library to get books from the
stacks as they are called for. A fev
of these would be students, but the
majority would be younger boys whr
could give their time in the morning
Such a system would not prohibit the
users of the library from going bacl<
into the stacks if necessary.
A new arrangement of the current
periodicals has been adopted since
the opening of the annex. The gen
eral magazines are grouped alphabet
ically along the west side of the south
end of the reading room, and in three
sections of the south wall. The tech
nical magazines are arranged by de
partments along the remainder of tht
south wall, and the east and north
sides of that end of the reading room
Mr. Adams is working now on de
signs for the new tables, but it wil
be several weeks before they will bt
completed and installed.
T.M.CK PUUtS COURSE
C. W. Koyl Will Lead Groups of Men
in Studying Foreign Phases
of Christianity
The University Y. M. C. A. will
conduct five courses during the sec
ond semester, open to all men of the
University. The curriculum is as fol
lows:
“Immigrant Forces.” A four weeks
course of lectures by Dr. James Gil
bert.
“The Manhood of the Master,” by
Fosdick. Group to be led by C. W.
Koyl, Association General Secretary.
“South American Problems,” by
Robert A. Speer.
“The New Era in Asia,” by Eddy,
Led by C. W. Koyl.
o“The Present World Situation,” Dr.
John R. Mott. Here he aims to show
the present world situation—a situ
ation unprecedented in opportunity,
, in danger, and in urgency. The book
was written before the war was de
clared in Europe, but that great ca
tastrophe lends timeliness and mean
ing to Dr. Mott’s treatment of he sub
ject. Since the appearance of his “De
cisive Hour in Chrisian Missions,” Dr.
• Mott has had altogether exceptional
: opportunities for studying the situa
tion in the different parts of the world.

. his bum knee. And these two men
mean a whole lot to our team.”
Nelson left college on account of
sickness during the early part of the
’ semester. Cornell is still on crutch
’ es, owing to a recent operation on his
1 knee, and so far the doctors have re
| fused to give much satisfaction as to
what his chances for playing ball will
be.
As compared with the strength of
the other conference teams, Johnnie
expressed the opinion that Washington
State College will be the team to
worry the most about, although O. A.
C., he thinks, will have a team much
stronger than that of last year, and
Washington, as usual, will be right
there with a strong bunch of play
ers.
“Of course, as I said before, it is!
too early to make any rash state- i
ments, but W. S. C. will have prac-!
tieally the same team as they had;
last year, with but one or two ex
ceptions. Who the new men are we
will know enough about later on, but
from what I know their company
will not hurt W. S. C. any,” said the
man who kept Oregon at the top of
the list in baseball last year.
The first practice will be called in
the latter part of February or early \
in March. Out of the present class of
Freshmen, which is the largest in the
history of Oregon, there ought to be
one or two “finds,” at least, wnlcli will
enable Coach Bezdek to shape up
team enough to worry the others along
just as he has in the past.
“September Morn” has been drama
tized, funnyized and muskalized by
Arthur Gillespie and Aubrey Stauffer,
two clever chaps who can blend pleas
ing lyrics and compose catchy music
in this new fun show. They have suc
ceeded beyond all anticipation and the
producers- Rowland Clifford have
selected a great company to enact the
various roles and sing the jingly
songs. Julian Rubell, the well known
, comedian, has the big fun part, and
Grace Childers, "The American Gaby
Deselys,” has a dashing role with
unique dances. Arline Bolling is also
seen in a part that was written for
her. The chorus is large and pretty.
Among the song hits are: "When a
Little Boy Lovesa Little Girl”; “In
Berlin”; "Oh, You September Morn”;
"Everybody's Tango Crar.y”; "A
Spare-rib from the Butcher Shop of
Life”; “Where Is the Pleasure in Wine
and Sons if the Woman is not There? ’ '
“I've a Girl in Every Town”; “Beau-|
tiful Dreams I'm Dreaming”; “The
Sun-shade Girl," etc.
“September Morn” comes to the Eu
gene Theatre Tuesday, January 19,
following a big hit run at the LaSalle 1
Opera House, Chicago. Adv. '
A new university has been opened
in Frankfort, Germany, in spite of the
fact that war is raging on all sides.
With the idea of forming a work
ing library for future historians of
the great war in Europe, the Yale
Library forces are collecting all avail
able data from the war zone and from
neutral countries. The official dis
patches from belligerent nations are
also being filed for future reference.
Following Yale’s example, Harvard
has also started to collect a war li
brary.
According to a census computed at
Bowdoin College, men engaged in
eight kinds of athletics are above the
average of the college in scholarship.
The average of the school is represent
ed by 12.3, while the average of ath
letes is 14.8. Cross country runners
stand highest among the athletes with
17.3, and tennis, which is the only one
below the general average, ranks low
est, with an average of 10.
